As new parents, my husband and I strongly oppose a right above a learning center. There are plenty of other real estate locations for a cannabis dispensary and above a children’s learning center is not one of them. By law a cannabis dispensary Is prohibited within 600 feet of an early education/ learning center. We don’t want to have to explain to our children what they’re smelling or seeing. It is unrealistic to think the patrons of the cannabis dispensary aren’t going to illegally smoke in the streets of the surrounding neighborhoods. As it is, the corner they’re proposing is already cramped with limited parking. Please consider the societal implications of a cannabis dispensary in this particular area. Communication from Public

Name: Date Submitted: 04/10/2021 11:52 AM Council File No: 21-0420-S9 Comments for Public Posting: I have lived in Toluca Lake with my family for 9 years. The cost of living and up keep of my home is very expensive as well as the taxes. I think we have the right as residents to live in a safe neighborhood where our kids can ride bikes and walk to the Village. I'm opposed to the opening of a cannabis shop on Forman Ave in Toluca Lake. Bringing into our neighborhood will also bring drug users a criminal element and guns. Forman is an important thru street for all the residents. It is the location of a children learning center and our favorite restaurant. How are the residents going to enjoy these wonderful places already in business if there are armed guards, lines of people and second hand pot smoke? I think we can all do without another pot shop in the world. Not here! Please keep Toluca Lake safe. Communication from Public

I'm totally opposed to a Cannabis shop opening up on Forman Ave for so many reasons. Selling drugs in our Village will only create a dangerous environment for the residents. To have an armed guard on our streets a cash business that will bring in criminal activity and people getting high in the area taking all of our parking are some of my reasons. Considering the high cost of living and taxes in Toluca Lake I would like my family to be safe walking, eating and shopping on Riverside Dr. If this Cannabis shop does open on Forman what will come next? We will be forced out of our neighborhood to protect ourselves. Please do not allow this.
